Faction Primer: The Empire of Urmanea


 “They claim that they are the true descendants of the old Empire of Jakhad – sons of demigods and daughters of war. All I know about them is that those are nothing but propaganda hurled at their own people. Well, since when propaganda isn’t used in times like these?” ~ Corporal David Anderson

The Empire of Urmanea or more commonly known as the Urmanean Empire is an imperial-based country with a powerful military might located on the west coast of the Judrahn continent. Controlling most of the western regions, the Empire thrives on its technological advancements and outputs in certain areas such as fuel and power, making them one of the more prosperous industrial nations of the continent aside from the Sovereignty of Tenebrine.

It is also one of the oldest factions that are established since the fall of the Empire of Jakhad two millennia prior. Starting off as a cluster of dozens – if not, hundreds of smaller states in the west coast, the rise of the state of Urmanea is a long and arduous journey filled with countless wars of unification, civil wars and a plague to finally establish the current Empire.

Currently (by 1st January 2342), the Empire is under the rule of Imperator Juneus Varn II. The hierarchal structure of the Empire is very monarchial based; with the eldest heir (whether male or female) shall take the throne should the current ruler died. The Emperor is often regarded as the supreme commander of the Urmanean Gohrkeun Div or the Urmanean Army Corps as well as the air force and navy, accompanied by his generals in the event of a war.

The Military Might of Urmanea

The Empire’s military is divided into several distinct “Divisions” which includes the aforementioned Gohrkeun Div, the Halsiegel Div (the Shocktrooper Corps), the Imaream Uldeon Vahs (the Imperial Air Force), the Nornmarinn (Imperial Navy) and the Urmanea Ayndov Skhor (Urmanean Intelligence Agency). Each of them has distinct roles in the Tenebrine War, with the Army Corps served as the backbone of Imperial advance while split up into several more divisions.

The Air Force’s power aren’t as dominant as the Tenebrine’s own, they are still a force to be reckon with, especially with the constant use of experimental weapons upon the battlefield – like the poisonous chemical gas that was first deployed at the Battle of Fairmaiden Hill in 2338, allowing the Imperial forces to secure their control on Northern Grecca before ending the Greccan Campaign a year after.

The Halsiegel Div is infamously known for its exceptional skills in combat and its efficiency in battle for many have noted of its existence as the earliest forms of specialized combat units, as they can be used for assaulting heavily defended trenches or conquering an entire fort with as little men as possible. Despite this, they are rivalled by Tenebrine’s own Shock Troopers that functions the same as the Halsiegel.

Essay: This Abstract Thing We Call "Love"

By -
Love. What is it, actually? Some define it as an expression that someone would display towards another individual that they have feelings for them, through actions that showcased their love to them. Others would have thought of something as simple as a feeling that would bring happiness to those who harbored it deep within their hearts. If you would ask me, what is love? I shall answer it as simple as possible. It is undefinable. To me, personally. It’s a very abstract thing that many of us can’t simply describe what love actually is. We can’t put into words about how it felt, or why it happened. That’s why phrases such as “the flowery feelings” or “butterflies in your stomach” metaphors came to be. It can be felt, yes of course and it is an undeniable thing. But to describe it? Borderline impossible, I might say. Now, when I talk about love, I’m talking about the one thing that held people together in a way through memories and acts of kindness. You get the gist of it. It is love

Members of the 3 rd Regiment, with around 300 men charged into the fray with support from the armored div., attacking the right flank of the Fort with the sole purpose of disabling the anti-armor weapons that our scouts have identified. Accompanied by two squads from the Shock Trooper Division (the ‘Hell Brigadiers’ and the ‘Scornful Bastards’), their mission is to clear a path for the other forces – especially our tanks – to begin the second phase of the operation. By 7.50 a.m., they were under heavy fire from the machine gunners holed up in their nests and were pinned if not for the coordinated attack by the Shock Troopers. Even with the use of the ‘female’ Griffin type tanks, they are suffering heavy casualties under constant bombardment by the anti-armor weapons. The two Shock Trooper Squads

A Field of Swords: Prologue Chapter (sample)

By -
Prologue Lord Percival Dragonstorm It was already evening and on that very day it was his son’s fifth birthday. If he was still a noble lord who lived in the halls of Dragonspire – the ancestral seat of his family, he would have ordered the people to set up for a feast to celebrate this auspicious day. But he no longer lived the wealthy life of being a nobleman who holds titles and lands, commanding entire hosts of armies into battle, or taking up his sword against his enemies. He had left that behind ten years ago. Percival now lived as a normal man with a mind that drives to live such a normal life. To live in peace. To be away from the world’s concerns. To be away from the shadows of war that haunts his father and his father before him. He owns a farm now, away from Camelot lands and resides within the borders of Grecca. Kaldir is where he makes his home. With his wife Ana, he lived within this small village where the people are just as friendly as they had always been. A bu
